My flight back from Florida was cancelled by BA last week. The communication from BA was really poor and it was really stressful. We were re-routed home from a different airport 24 hours later and I had to spend the night sorting out arrangements for my dogs.
They've declined compensation as they say it was due to adverse weather conditions. There was a thunderstorm in the area (but that's pretty usual for Florida!) and other flights were taking off and landing for most of the time with a pause in departures for a while. The flight was pretty under booked so my suspicions is they were looking for a reason to cancel. Has anyone had a similar experience or any views on whether it's worth challenging their decision not to pay compensation?
